Valentine’s Day Preschool Sensory Play

Sensory play is so important and one of my favorite things to do with little ones. I love setting up simple sensory bins.  Sensory bins are just a fancy name for a bin of stuff that kids (or anyone) can touch, taste, smell, see and/or hear.  If you are new to sensory bins, be sure to read this post: Getting Started with Sensory Bins. It will walk you through what a sensory bin is and how to set one up in your classroom or at home. 

Sensory play is important for kids of all ages!

Here are a few favorite sensory bin items for February :

  • Colored pom poms
  • Pink and red pipe cleaners
  • Foam Hearts
  • Heart cookie cutters
  • Red or pink rice
  • Conversation Hearts
